HDD read/write speed test?

I'm wondering if there is any nice tool (and hopefully some tutorial pages
if you know) to test my HDDs on Ubuntu 8.04? - just trying to test and
compare **actual** read/write speed among different HDDs attached to it.

I'm looking for a tool that has nice GUI features, other than something like
"hdparm -i /dev/sda" kind of stuffs. It would be nice if the tool can
estimate the number of hours that the HDDs can healthly survive.
